Book Description
DREAMS ARE DANGEROUS Unless she unlocks the powers of her mind. He fights his Otherworld shadow self. And with only fae magic to re-spin their tales. Princess Æroreh Rosen was faerie blessed before her birth. To promote the New Dawn Era, the Queen coded her daughter with every feminine perfection. Beauty. Gentleness. Obedience. Musicality. Kindness. Grace. Good cheer. Hunger and lung sickness plague the Kingdom of Ealdspell. But Æroreh is plugged into The Dream, a program created by a sect of faeries to control the realms through illusions of beauty and contentment. All Æroreh has ever known is blissful servitude to a cursed system, and she believes her realm is prospering. Until a different faerie sect decides to wake her sleeping mind and set her true magic free. Meanwhile, Félip Batten MacKinley holds a dangerous secret. One made more threatening by the frostbite scar across his cheek. He’s spit on, beaten, and demonized by a community that values a pretty face over all else. With no easy future in sight, he accepts that he’ll die a burden to his foster parents, his true history erased. But a tempting offer from the faerie’s Fate Maker leads Félip to cross paths with the hauntingly beautiful Æroreh—a young woman who represents all he loathes. Yet only she has the power to awaken a new Dream. Æroreh is a gritty spin on the romantic tale of Sleeping Beauty and blends faerie magic and pagan ritual with high technology. For fans of Margaret Rogerson, Holly Black, fairy tales, and young adult dystopian fantasy. CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE Name pronounced like Aurora.

Book Description
A stunning, powerful debut novel set against the backdrop of the Cambodian War, perfect for fans of Chris Cleave and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie For seven-year-old Raami, the shattering end of childhood begins with the footsteps of her father returning home in the early dawn hours bringing details of the civil war that has overwhelmed the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival. Displaying the author's extraordinary gift for language, In the Shadow of the Banyanis testament to the transcendent power of narrative and a brilliantly wrought tale of human resilience. 'In the Shadow of the Banyanis one of the most extraordinary and beautiful acts of storytelling I have ever encountered' Chris Cleave, author of The Other Hand 'Ratner is a fearless writer, and the novel explores important themes such as power, the relationship between love and guilt, and class.

Now on the run, Aroreh’s unspooling world collides with Félip Batten McKinley’s, a shadow walker and the surviving heir to the throne of faerie. The very throne the queen maneuvers to annihilate. And why the faeries hid him as a child in the factory slums of Rothlín.

Pages : 399
Book Description
"Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty . . . weaves a brilliant analysis of the complex role of dreams and dreaming in Indian religion, philosophy, literature, and art. . . . In her creative hands, enchanting Indian myths and stories illuminate and are illuminated by authors as different as Aeschylus, Plato, Freud, Jung, Kurl Gödel, Thomas Kuhn, Borges, Picasso, Sir Ernst Gombrich, and many others. This richly suggestive book challenges many of our fundamental assumptions about ourselves and our world."—Mark C. Taylor, New York Times Book Review "Dazzling analysis. . . . The book is firm and convincing once you appreciate its central point, which is that in traditional Hindu thought the dream isn't an accident or byway of experience, but rather the locus of epistemology. In its willful confusion of categories, its teasing readiness to blur the line between the imagined and the real, the dream actually embodies the whole problem of knowledge. . . . [O'Flaherty] wants to make your mental flesh creep, and she succeeds."—Mark Caldwell, Village Voice

Book Description
Two enchanting stories of magic, love and adventure from the award-winning series, the NecroSeam Chronicles. Perfect for YA and older fantasy readers who love intricate magic, deep world building, relatable characters, and exciting action! Princess of Shadow and Dream: After living for centuries in her father's timeless realm of Dreams, Princess Myra is excited to visit the physical plane of the shadowy Death kingdom, even if it's only to watch over the prince's dreams. When the Death prince is attacked in the subconscious realm, he is helpless to defend himself, and it's the eccentric Princess of Dreams who ends up rescuing the prince. But even her powerful magic can’t protect them from the coming doom her prophetic visions foretell for the entire world. Princess of Grim As a royal RelicBlood born of two realms, Princess Willow's mixed-magic of Dream and Death is so weakened, some question her right to rule the kingdom of Grim when the time comes. But that doesn't stop the 9-year old from working harder than anyone at the Noble Academy to hone her magic and excel in scythe combat training. Unexpectedly, one of her biggest supporters is a new Reaper-in-training boy with crippled magic. As new students, young Xavier and his twin brother, Alexander are ridiculed by the other Grimlings for having only half magic. Together, though, Willow and the twins may be capable of anything. But they aren’t prepared for an assassin trapped in the Dream realm for over 500 years who has sworn vengeance on the royal RelicBloods of Death and Dream. These two novels are prequels to the multi-award winning Necroseam Chronicles Epic Fantasy series. A vivid new world filled with deep lore rooted in magic, shrouded in gothic mystery, and seeping with extraordinary world-building.
